Swimming Fun

We have been having lots of fun in the pool this week.  I am really impressed with how confident the kids are in the pool.  This week we have been practicing safe entry into the water, lots of splashing and fun getting wet, as well as learning to hold a flutter board correctly to help us glide across the pool.  We try to have a few minutes at the end of each lesson for some free time.  This gives the children the opportunity to practice the skills they are learning.  It's great for those less confident swimmers to explore what they can do on their own.  Quite often they surprise themselves.

It was nice to see some of the children helping others to do up those tricky buckles on their shoes.  Hopefully we will all be able to do up our own shoes soon. 😄
